Xuan Ling patronized and went in a daze, and he didn't even notice that Zhong Shenxiu walked into the house.

"What does the eldest brother want? What does he want? I'm afraid he can't wait to get rid of my burden as soon as possible, right?"

Xuanling is sad, she is like a hairy hedgehog, whenever someone approaches, she will erect hard thorns around her body.

"You feel uncomfortable, and I feel even more uncomfortable when I read the wind book?"

"Sister Lamei, what do you mean by that?" Xuanling didn't know why, she didn't see the slightest sign of Fengshu's discomfort.

"There are a lot of things that can only be understood but not spoken, and you don't understand him at all. ”

"I don't understand, you just need to understand!" Xuanling was originally sad, and she met someone who came to count her down, do you think she can give a good face?

Zhong Shenxiu was not angry, but retreated to the round table in the room and sat down calmly. She lifted the teapot and poured herself a glass of warm water.

She took a sip and said with emotion: "I have known Fengshu for a long time, although we haven't seen each other for decades, there are many things that will never change." He's always hated being forced. What's more, this emotional thing can't be forced?"

"yes, so what? you have your way, I have my choice. I'll stay with my big brother on my own terms. ”

Zhong Shenxiu was stunned, she originally wanted to persuade the other party not to force too much, just let it be. The other party understood that he was asking her to protect silently like her.

"That's okay, if that's the case, you'll part ways with Fengshu sooner or later in the future. When the time comes, I will never show mercy. While the wind is calm now, you should work hard to improve yourself. ”

Zhong Shenxiu knew that the two of them had already been estranged, and they didn't talk for more than half a sentence, so they silently withdrew from the room.

Xuanling was upset, and she didn't know what to do, so she had to lie on the bed and stare at the tile in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but she was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the warm sunlight shone through the window into the room, dispelling the clouds.

Xuanling got up early, she changed into a new red robe and a pair of mandarin duck water shoes. After washing, she went downstairs humming a song.

She walked to the inn lobby, where Zhong Shenxiu happened to be eating breakfast.

"Sister Lamei, it's early!"

Zhong Shenxiu saw that she was in good spirits and was about to go out, she said a little unexpectedly: "Xiaoyu, morning, where are you going this morning?"

"Sister Lamei, I'm sorry, don't take what happened last night to heart. She understands what Zhong Shenxiu said, but ah, she just can't do it. Besides, this emotional thing has never been reasonable.

"It's okay, I'm not going to be angry with you little girl liar. ”

Xuan Ling saw that Zhong Shenxiu didn't mean to blame, so he asked, "What about the eldest brother?"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled and said, "He, yesterday with Yang Zhongcheng, drunk, is still sleeping?" "What's the matter?

"No... It's okay..."Xuanling wanted to see him, but he was embarrassed to say it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Please tell the eldest brother, I'm going to Taihe Pavilion." ”

Taihe Pavilion is Wanbaomen, the place where things are done in Gusu City. Today, Xuanling went to Taihe Pavilion, not for anything else, but to get the money.

As long as you enter the third round, there will be different levels of prize money in the big event of martial arts competition.

The third round was ten taels of silver, the fourth round was thirty taels of silver, and the fifth round was three hundred taels of silver. After that, it's a martial arts battle. The duel between masters and masters, only at this level, can you propose a treasure exchange to Wanbaomen.

Fifty taels of silver, Xuanling has never taken so much money with his own hands. Ordinary people, playing around all year round, a year's normal eating and drinking expenses, is only five or six taels of silver.

These fifty taels of silver, full of calculations, are enough for their family to eat for seven or eight years.

Xuanling was very excited, she must save this money well, and give it to her mother in the future, so that her mother and grandfather will no longer have to work.

Xuan Ling walked to the door of the Taihe Pavilion and happened to meet a carriage galloping towards him.

This carriage is luxuriously decorated, and the two horses go hand in hand, and at first glance it looks like the stuff of a large family. The two men got out of the car first and put down the low stool. One lifted the curtain, and the other waited under the car.

At this time, an old man walked out of the car. He was dressed in white, embroidered with snake stripes. He has a pair of longevity eyebrows on his face, and his hair is slightly gray. Most notably, he has a golden snake coiled around his shoulder.

The golden snake is not big, at most only as thick as a pair of chopsticks. Its scales are golden, and the red is like a jewel, which is a rare treasure of the beast.

As soon as he got out of the car, one of them hurried to open the way. The other man descended and waited after the bhikkhus.

The monk walked through the gate and entered the courtyard, where a huge sign stood on the right side.

The card is pasted with red paper, and the name of the winner is placed on the red paper.

The bhikshu walked slowly inside, and whoever met him would automatically give in or give a salute.

Who is this man, and why are so many people afraid of him?

After the courtyard, it is where the Taihe Pavilion is located.

Xuanling followed all the way, and after the monk entered the back hall of the Taihe Pavilion, he never came out.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

As soon as Xuan Ling turned around, Xu Jinjiang looked at the right eye, he immediately walked over, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Are you Xuan Ling?"

"How do you know me? I have never had any intersection with the examiner?" Xuan Ling had only met Xu Jinjiang at the opening ceremony of the fourth competition. But they didn't say a word, how could he know her?

"Oh, you probably don't know, I'm friends with Fengshu. He often mentions you in front of me, and because I am busy with business, I have not found time to visit you. ”

Xuan Ling nodded, believing him at once. So she asked curiously, "Hey, do you know who the old man is just now, and why are so many people afraid of him?"

"His name is Bhikshu, and he is the director of the Ten Thousand Treasures Gate Rite Paradise and one of the five elders. ”

Oh, Xuanling finally understands, what's going on.

"That, may I ask why Fengshu didn't come with you today?"

"Well, I don't know much about that. Xuanling didn't want to talk too much about Fengshu, so she prevaricated casually.

Xu Jinjiang got up with a loss and sat back down at the square table. On the table was a roster, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a small tin box.

"You're here to claim the prize, right?"

Xuan Ling nodded happily, "Take out the waist card and come up to sign and draw a pledge!"

Xuan Ling took out the waist card from his pocket, and after Xu Jinjiang confirmed that the waist card was correct, he asked her to sign it.

When all this was done properly, Xu Jinjiang took out a fifty taels of silver ticket from the iron box and handed it to her.

"Thank you!" Xuan Ling took the silver ticket and was about to go out. At this time, a person walked in outside the door, and he shouted happily at her: "Little friend, do you remember the old man?"

Xuan Ling looked at him, her body unconsciously took a step back, and replied tremblingly: "Master, I think you recognized the wrong person." ”
